Overview
- Users reported that Gemini would stall when asked to place a voice call and show the error message “Something went wrong. Please try again,” preventing the assistant from dialing.
- Standard fixes such as clearing app cache, deleting local data, or rebooting infotainment systems did not resolve the problem for affected users.
- Community workarounds that restored calling included switching back to the legacy Google Assistant template or uninstalling the latest app update.
- Google told 9to5Google that a fix is now available and advised users still affected to update the Google app from the Play Store to restore call functionality.
- The outage removed a core hands‑free feature for drivers and phone users, raising safety and usability concerns as Gemini replaces the older Assistant in many car and mobile setups.
